Abstract |
Booklet aimed at the managers of small and medium-sized enterprises. Although the regulatory framework is the UK Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992, the principles presented are of general applicability. The essential part or risk assessment is to inventory all the activities, materials, substances, equipment, people and procedures in the workplace, as well as the characteristics of the workplace itself. The hazards of each can then be identified and prioritized, and risk reduction measures undertaken. A checklist groups typical hazards under 13 headings: mechanical, transport, access, handling/lifting, electricity, chemicals, fire and explosion, particles and dust, radiation, biological, environmental, organizational and the individual. |
